between harm reduction and the increase of risk taking behavior. Harm reduction is defined as “policies‚ programs and practices that aim to reduce negative health‚ social and economic consequences that may ensue from the use of legal and illegal psychoactive drugs‚ without necessarily reducing drug use” (Stenekes‚ 2015). In this essay I will argue that harm reduction is a slippery slope that leads to the use of illicit substances and to the engagement in risky behavior. Harm reduction policies negatively

‘Biofuels are likely to make an important contribution to a reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions.’ Evaluate this statement using the evidence provided. The opinion on biofuels is largely mixed‚ and it is questioned how effectively they will impact on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The Department for Environment‚ Food and Rural Affairs [DEFRA] (2003) claim that biofuels are sustainable and renewable to a large extent‚ as they are made from recycled elements of the food chain

noise reduction and efficiency of gears in diesel engine Thesis: In most machines‚ the major requirements for gear transmission are low sound excitation character‚ a high-level load carrying capability and generally high efficiency‚ which is more vital with increased environmental awareness. This paper discusses and analyzes two main elements gear system efficiency improvement and sound excitation. The main reason in noise reduction at gear system is given. Recommendations for reduction in sound

ABSTRACT The experiment deals with determining the standard reduction potentials of different electrochemical half-cells through pairing it with Cu2+(0.1 M)|Cu half-cell and then comparing it with the theoretical value. Galvanic or voltaic cells contain the anodic and cathodic cell reactions‚ and in order to get the value of Ecell‚ we add both half-reactions. The more positive the Ecell‚the more negative ΔG would be‚ thus‚ giving us a spontaneous reaction. After comparing the cell potentials

Module 16 Notes Reduction/Oxidation Reactions • Oxidation number: The charge that an atom in a molecule would develop if the most electronegative atoms in the molecule took the shared electrons from the less electronegative atoms. • Oxidation numbers are not real; they are only based on assumptions. They are useful bookkeeping tools though‚ and can help us keep track of electrons during a reaction. • The sum of all oxidation numbers in a molecule must equal the charge of that molecule. • Rules

Uncertainty reduction theory This theory comes to explain the uncertainty among people who communicate with each other and how different types of communication will help to reduce the uncertainty. As a starting point‚ the developers of this theory (Charles Berger and Richard Calabrese) stated that uncertainty is an unpleasant feeling‚ which people prefer to avoid as much as they can. Every person has been confronted with the feeling of uncertainty‚ rather if it was when arriving to new a destination

difficulty. As the CEO of this LCC‚ you however believe that if the airline manages to control the cost‚ your airline can survive. You therefore decide to reduce the operating expanse including the labour cost but you would avoid lay-offs. What cost reduction measures would you implement and why? In airline industry‚ the cost can break to two parts: fixed cost and variable cost. And there is very hard to cutting off of the fixed cost which is including the cost of fuel‚ landing
